Marked for Conor Coady

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Ibrahim Fullah puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Charlton Athletic, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Conor Coady: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Charlton Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Reading come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Charlton Athletic did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Sam Dalby in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Charlton Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Joe Rankin-Costello

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Hibernians are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Charlton Athletic will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Maeson King says Charlton Athletic went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Sam Dalby was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Charlton Athletic lose Conor Coady

43 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Thomas Kaminski asks to leave Charlton Athletic

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Conor Coady says Charlton Athletic went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Squad

Charlton Athletic lose Lee Nicholls

115 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Adam Dźwigała

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Charlton Athletic sign Myles Dayman, one for the future

Myles Dayman is 19, and Charlton Athletic have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

At 20, Ibrahim Fullah is already the best thing here

An average of 7.16 in a first team he is several years too young for. Charlton Athletic have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Tempers go at Charlton Athletic

Lucas Bergvall was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tyreece Campbell

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

One of those days for Sonny Carey

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ibrahim Fullah

Marked 9.20 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Charlton Athletic get the job done against Derby County

A 2‑1 win over Derby County, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Sonny Carey is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.32 with 4 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Conor Coady

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

The Lloyd Jones talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Charlton Athletic know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
